Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk

Get ready for a spooktacular start to your Halloween season at the Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, in charming Saukville, WI. This festive event, held at Grady Park at 110 W. Dekora Street, offers a fun 5K run or walk for all ages and paces, alongside a special Kid's Trick or Treat Fun Walk. Typical race day conditions in mid-October present crisp autumn weather, with highs around 57°F and lows around 39°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running conditions.

The Saukville Scare is renowned for its vibrant Halloween atmosphere, encouraging participants to don their most creative costumes. After crossing the finish line, the festivities continue with a lively post-race celebration featuring a bounce house, a DJ, and a delicious pumpkin pancake breakfast. Cash prizes are awarded to overall male and female winners, as well as top finishers in each age division, and a costume contest adds to the spirited competition. This annual run through Grady Park not only promises a memorable experience but also supports a great cause, with proceeds benefiting the Saukville Elementary School's Parent Association to enhance student learning and reduce activity fees.

Check-in opens at 8 AM at the shelter in Grady Park, with the race officially kicking off at 9 AM, ensuring you're on your way to enjoy the rest of your weekend by 11 AM. The Kid's Trick or Treat Fun Walk is a fantastic addition for younger participants (12 and under), featuring four delightful trick-or-treat stops along a shortened route. Embrace the community spirit, enjoy the scenic park setting, and celebrate Halloween early at this energetic 5K.
